Fodor's Expert Review Elk Meadow Cabins

From the porches of these restored former mill workers' cottages that can be booked whole or in part (as studios occupying former garages), you often see Roosevelt elk meandering in the namesake meadow—or right outside the window. The furnishings are pleasantly modern, if functional. The cabins have three bedrooms, two bathrooms, full kitchens, washers and dryers, and porches with grills. Most have attached studio units (without full kitchens) you can book separately or combine to create a four-bedroom, two-bath rental. On the grounds are a communal fire pit and an outdoor hot tub. The cabins, on the edge of Prairie Creek State Park, provide an excellent base for Redwood National and State Parks hiking.
